BTC Token Checker

Look up any BRC-20 ticker on Bitcoin: supply, mint progress, holder count and top-holder concentration.

Why no honeypot check here? Bitcoin BRC-20 tokens are inscriptions on individual satoshis, not executable smart contracts, so there is no contract code that can block a sale the way an EVM honeypot can. The real risk signals on Bitcoin tokens are holder concentration, mint status, and deployer behavior - exactly what this tool checks.

Can I search by inscription ID instead of ticker?

Yes. If you paste a full deploy inscription ID (the long 64-character hex string ending in "i0" or similar), this tool automatically resolves it to the token's ticker first, then runs the same supply and holder lookup. This is useful when a ticker name is shared by multiple deploys and you want to check one specific one.

How to read a BRC-20 holder concentration check

If the top 10 wallets hold a very large share of a token's minted supply, a small group of holders can move the market by selling at once, similar to whale risk on any chain. Combine this with mint progress (a token that's still mid-mint can see supply and price change quickly) and holder count (more unique holders generally means wider, healthier distribution) before deciding whether a BRC-20 token looks safe to hold.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a BRC-20 token?

BRC-20 is a token standard built directly on Bitcoin using inscriptions (data written onto individual satoshis via the Ordinals protocol), rather than a smart contract like ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum.

Why can't this be a honeypot checker like the main Rug Checker?

Honeypot contracts work by blocking sell transactions in smart contract code. Bitcoin has no smart contracts for BRC-20 - transfers are just Bitcoin transactions - so that specific scam mechanism does not apply the same way. Risk here comes from holder concentration and deployer behavior instead.

Is this BTC Token Checker free to use?

Yes, this tool is free to use on this site. It relies on UniSat's API, which offers its own free tier (the site owner needs a free UniSat API key configured for this tool to work).

What does "top 10 holder concentration" mean for a BRC-20 token?

It is the percentage of a token's total minted supply held by its 10 largest wallets. A high percentage means a small number of holders could sell enough to move the price significantly.

Can I check Runes tokens with this tool too?

This tool currently checks BRC-20 tickers. Runes is a newer, separate Bitcoin token standard with its own data format, and may be added as a future update.
